Pre-Web-Lesson 6 Chit-Chat :
Look at the Cover Page:
Smileshine's advice is that the best treat is treating. Look up your dictionary to find the different meanings of the word treat.
The Treat Stamp also suggests treating to leave behind helpful X.Y.Z.
If you have looked at your dictionary you will better understand what you are doing when you treat your mouth the first time (cleaning), and more importantly what you are doing when you treat your mouth the second time ( applying protective X.Y.Z.).
Page 2 :
Read what my friend Croc-O-Smile has to say. Croc-O-Smile is getting just a little bit worried about X.Y.Z. hiding in his mouth.
Page 3 :
PadPaw really loves to draw doesn't he ? GarGar The Dentist must have seen some of these beautiful drawings but warns you that all things that may look beautiful, may not really be good for you in your mouth.
Ruby Roo is very wise to take very special care of her gums.
Page 4 :
Booksie Owl realizes that plaque attacks on her gums can be very very harmful.
GarGar says it is better to learn just a little bit each day.Is that what you have been doing? For you it might be a little bit each week perhaps ? The important thing is to do what is best for you.
Page 5 :
On the top of the page GarGar The Dentist tells you to imagine you are drawing your gums as you do drawings of plaque on gums.
KookaMum is a very wise mum. I do hope you have lots of fresh fruit.
Please read the Treat Stamp very carefully. What you do your treating with is very important
Page 6 :
It is very important to understand what GarGar The Dentist has told you. That plaque build-up and plaque monkey business will only happen if YOU let it happen.
Page 7 :
Now as a special exercise you should be able to make a list of the healthy foods you should put into your mouth. Would you like to do that now ?.
Web-Lesson 6 Text :
Read the text on Page 8. Read it several times to make certain you understand it.
Carefully study the drawings on Page 9 and Page 10
Notice particularly how the gingivae become red and swollen when they are unhealthy, but are pink and firm when healthy. Look at your own gums.
Some children let scale form on their teeth because they do not treat properly and their dentist has to remove it !
